Adding Order Number to WooCommerce Email Body Template

When running an online store using WooCommerce, effective communication with your customers is crucial. One of the areas where this communication can fall short is in order confirmation emails. If you've ever found yourself needing to include the order number in the email body template—specifically in an on-hold email—you’re not alone. Many store owners want to personalize their emails to enhance clarity for customers about their purchases.

In this guide, we will explore how you can easily add the order number to the email body template for WooCommerce emails. We will break down the steps to ensure you can implement this change smoothly. Let’s dive right in!

Understanding the Problem

You want to modify the on-hold order email template in WooCommerce to include the order number in the introduction. This small detail can make a significant difference, helping customers immediately identify their purchase. The initial approach may involve using the $order->get_id() method, but that is not the correct way to display the order number in the email body.

The Solution

To successfully add the order number to your WooCommerce email template, follow these straightforward steps:

1. Use the Correct Method

While you might have initially used $order->get_id(), the better approach is to use the get_order_number() method provided by the WC_Order class. This method retrieves the order number in a way that is intended for email display.

2. Utilize the printf() Function

Instead of concatenating the string directly, using the printf() function allows for cleaner and more effective string formatting. With printf(), you can incorporate dynamic data (like the order number) smoothly into your text.

3. Implement the Code

Here is the code snippet you should use in your WooCommerce email body template:

Breakdown of the Code:

printf() Function: This function formats the string and replaces the %s placeholder with the actual order number.

esc_html__() Function: This function ensures that the text is safe for output on the web, avoiding potential security issues by escaping any HTML characters.

$order->get_order_number(): This method fetches the actual order number associated with the order, providing the customer with the correct information.

Conclusion

By incorporating the order number in your on-hold email template, you are enhancing your communication with customers, helping them feel more informed about their orders. Using WooCommerce's built-in functions allows for cleaner, more efficient code while maintaining security best practices.

Feel free to apply this in your WooCommerce email template and notice the positive impact it has on your customer relationships. Happy emailing!
